We got this.

The stats don't lie. We are dominating in many areas. We need to CAPITALISE.

Once we do we will be unstoppable.

    I can’t even get inside 50 - paywall.

    Anything insightful in the article? Thanks in advance.

    tl;dr

    - we are on track to break Essendon's inside 50 entry in 2000 record

    - we score more than any other team

    - we also score the most behinds

    - contested style leads to congestion

    - Goodwin says that's part of the challenge abd learning

    On Wednesday tiers wrote under Umpires Report:

    If we could only get maximum return from our inside 50s and not squander them as against Geelong, GC, St K, PA and Freo we would not need to add much to our backline and we would have three more wins.

    Dare to dream.

    Nice to know the hun reads this site. Acknowledgement would be nice.

    Even the most pessimistic Melbourne fan would acknowledge the statistical dominance we have in so many areas but equally that is exactly why it’s frustrating we are in the position we’re in right now. 

    IF (and it is a big if) we can start to spot up targets (we actually have a very capable forward line) we can turn this upward very quickly. Every week is a new challenge, this week has to be aimed at building on what we did last week and making the most of our chances. 

    Dumb simple thing to say but the more times we do actually use our forward entries positively, the less pressure our defence will be under.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
